I'm pretty sure he's just talking about the nukes and the firebombings. The China occupation is new though.

It doesn't seem that way, since it heavily implies that the nuclear bombing did not happen.

I don't know if Ronove already did, but here are the character bios translated:

Leo Shishigami

He's a legendary man, Leo.
In brawls, with guns, even runnin' his mouth, there's no one better.
However, it's his seduction of women that makes him famous.
He'd see a woman and put the moves on her right there without giving a thought to anyone.
I also have memories of those advances... hehe.
He smelled of danger, that charming man.
The war was supposed to have ended in 44. The repatriation ship went down on a sea mine, and after drifting ashore, he caused a misunderstanding, like he had wanted to get thrown in the internment camp. So he came back to Japan 3 years later, in 47.
His own country had completely changed, and it had certainly become a confusing place.
He left the repatriation office with no address, no place to go to.
It was then he chanced to meet Rose. That is surely where it all began.

"Can I give you a hand, young lady?"

Rose Haibara

She's the real founding Madame of Primavera, Rose.
However, at some point in 47, she was forced into the role of peacemaker for the Women of the Night.
She's kind and fair to everyone. She's very serious and doesn't doubt a thing, the sweetheart.
She lacked dignity before being a Madame, but everyone was in love with her for that reason.
As a woman, she was beautiful in a sweet way. As a Woman of the Night, well, maybe that disqualifies her.
Hers is a fleeting beauty, just like that of freshly fallen snow. As such, no man lays a finger on anyone.

Hi Guys When reading ANN Article on Rose Guns Days Yesterday I happened to go to the source site and found a very interesting image I'm not entirely sure but it looks like it could be from the Booklet that Ryukishi was talking about

It features quite a few new characters that havent been seen yet

It also looks as though the game might be a collaborration of styles from all four artists

According to those thumbnail icons for the updated website showing the characters, only two of them look like they were drawn by Ryukishi, both of them featured on his blog previously.

And another character, who seems to be designed by Jiro Suzuki, and looks exactly like Battler does in the Umineko EP2 manga (which Suzuki illustrated). In fact, when I link to the icons directly, the images are named with three letters, which likely stand in for the characters' names. Leo's icon is named "leo.png", Rose's is "ros.png", and Richard's is "ric.png". And the guy who looks like Battler? His is called "but.png". And "but" is the same name that comes up when images related to Battler in the Umineko games are extracted (likely due to a name mistransliteration that was never changed).

Here's his icon:

Lastly, the character page has two icons with question marks, likely to hide certain characters. However, not only do they link to character pages, but they actually reveal the hidden characters' names (but just their names).

Spoiler for Names:

Apparently they are called "Julie Hayashibara" (林原樹里) and "Madam Rose" (マダム・ローズ).

Spoiler for just in case:

Is 樹里 (じゅり) an actual, legit Japanese name or does it fall under the Ushiromiya naming sense category?
